The overall reputation of UPS is marred by significant concerns regarding service reliability and customer support. Many customers report frequent delays in package delivery, errors in shipping, and inadequate responsiveness from customer service representatives. Complaints highlight issues with lost packages, unfulfilled delivery promises, and a lack of accountability, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction. While some customers acknowledge the company's long-standing presence in the industry, the prevailing sentiment is overwhelmingly negative, with calls for improved communication and service efficiency. This feedback suggests that UPS must urgently address operational shortcomings to restore customer trust and satisfaction.

Paid for 2nd day air to send masks to my sister. Got package back today after 6 weeks. Never delivered to my sister. Delivered to a ups store and did not notify my sister. Refuse to send back unless I pay to ship again. UPS store blames ups and UPS blames UPS store. This is not about the money. It is about what it represents. Their poor business practices and lack of awareness of environment. They throw blame around but never take responsibility for dropping the ball. Everyone needs to know that they are only concerned with themselves not the customer. The second package I sent 2nd day air to my other sister with masks took 8 days. Again everyone and everything else was to blame.
I have a package to be delivered Friday. I get multiple delay notifications. Then I get out for deliver... then one more delay notification for the follow day. We are now 5 days past when it was originally supposed to arrive. So when asking to escalate and discuss the girl's poor customer service skills because she continues to interrupt she tells me there is no way to identify her against any other person there. Wow...
My wife and I are finishing up the process of moving and have been ordering quite a few items from amazon to complete our home. Now, we understand that it depends on what the shipper chooses to use to send our packages, however we have had explicit difficulties with UPS and how they deliver our packages. For the past 2 weeks we have not received packages that have been shipped with UPS. Instead they have told us that they were not able to deliver and dropped the packages off at a store that holds packages for UPS. The issue with this is that, my wife works from home and has not heard one knock from the UPS driver. When it all started we were given a note that told us where the FIRST package was dropped off. Since then they have not even attempted to drop anything off at our home. I went to the store where they were holding the packages and not only did the ladies there receive the first package that was supposed to come, but they received 3 others that we had ordered to our home as well. They have not tried to communicate with is at all despite our attempts to let them call us if they think they are in the wrong place. I have put mine and my wife's personal phone numbers on the door for them to use if they had questions or concerns. Not only have they disregarded them but they seem to have deliberately skipped over our address to deliver to the drop off store almost 2 miles from our home. What makes this even more frustrating is that their customer service is non existent and there aren't any people in their customer service line at all, so we can't ask questions or make requests, we are at the mercy of this driver. If you have the choice I genuinely and sincerely recommend Fedex and even USPS as alternatives. They won't make you walk 2 miles to a drop off point just to get one 2 to 3 prong outlet adapters.
I am so tired of ordering things and to know they are going to be shipped by UPS. The packages may arrive 2 freaking weeks after the delivery date! When we order its because we need something and waiting to flip a coin if our package may or may not arrive is absurd.
This is the second time ups has delivered my package to a different address than mine and the driver says he delivered it this time happen to me my next door neighbor so I got my package this time but wasn't the case the previous time. Ups drivers need to slow down and confirm the address that they are delivering too!
I have a inclosed front porch and they leave the packages out in the rain instead of putting on porch out of the weather. They need to reduce there lazy worthless drivers and hire real workers!
I really wish there were other options for when making a purchase through companies who use UPS to ship items. Anytime I'm expecting a package and it's shipped via UPS, there is an issue. And customer service is a freaking joke with them!
I'm shaking. Thats how angry I am. I've been looking for these people since 9am yesterday. Its 9pm the following day and still no package. I'm sick of feeling anxious because they're saying its on its way and then not getting my package. I'm sick of the lies this website is telling me. I'm sick of the anxiety the wait is giving me. I've been tracking the driver ALL DAY. He was circling my house ALL DAY. Came into my complex, DROVE PASSED MY HOUSE and I never seen him again. This company is a joke. I really hate UPS. I will never order anything online ever in life again if UPS has to deliver it. You guys really need to do something because this is not right you are going to lose so many clientele. In fact I REALLY hope you do. If I can give this company ZERO stars I would. I H. A. T. E UPS.
My package arrived today and only one side was taped. The box clearly was handled in a rough manner as the stuffing was falling out. Normally I would let this go, but I ordered a delicate plate. I am very upset with the handling of UPs. They usually do a much better job. I'm sad to see this.
Overall Service Lousy, I order online through Amazon and others at least three times a week if it gets delivered UPS I never know what I'm gonna get last week a package game I have pictures looks like it was dragged 10 miles, This week ordered two new tires for my trailer shipped from the same company said it was going to be delivered Monday now UPS says one will come today (Friday) one will come next week absolutely terrible service. How is it that it gets shipped by one company at the same time and gets delivered days later than it supposed to and two separate shipments.
My package was delivered to the wrong door after my neighbor has a sign up saying that only packages for that apt number can be delivered there. They didn't care, they threw it on the porch of the neighbor and signed it off and now my package is stolen. I've tried to file a claim and call UPS and nothing. Y'all are the worst and I now don't want to order anything because I'm scared it's going to come UPS. Amazon, FedEx and everyone else delivers to the right door, they just don't care!
I live in an apartment, I'm not sure if the delivery drivers are lazy or something but they dropped off everyone's packages around my apartment and decided to delay mine by a business( this happens often apparently)
They had my package so no excuse. I realize times are tuff, but I work at a grocery store where I cant just tell people
(I have your item, but come back in a day) just deliver if you have it! It's your job
I recently bought tv that was shipped through them. By the time i got my tv the box had stabed holes and slash marks. Pulled tv out and tv screen was solid bubble. They were nice to re pick up next day and covered charge to re send to seller but it came back and boy box was more holes then it left. It left today and i didnt do one damage to my package but ups says they owe seller not me. Why did i pay shippingedge were cracked..
I'm in Phoenix, AZ. Here are the facts what UPS is doing:
05/14/2020 9:00 A.M. Goodyear, AZ, United States
05/14/2020 1:58 A.M. Phoenix, AZ, United States Arrival Scan
05/14/2020 1:30 A.M. Goodyear, AZ, United States Departure Scan
05/13/2020 7:38 P.M. Goodyear, AZ, United States Arrival Scan
Facts don't lie!
By force UPS customer
Estimated delivery time was 3-5 days. On fifth day tracker showed will be delivered by end of day. No show. Next day estimated delivery moved out 3 days more. Seems to be based on estimates not actual tracking. Canada Post or Purolater services and tracking are much better and more accurate. I would give UPS a lower rating but it won't let me rate it zero stars.
Terrible service took my pair of shoes almost a month to get here. I would suggest NOT going here to ship ANYTHING. Terrible just terrible
Unbelievable! They just don't care, are incompetent, and systems don't work.
You spend hours on the phone to be promised delivery, but it's all lies. Parcel landed at depot 17th April it's 13th May still no delivery.
Had 4 days to properly send my package out. But somehow managed to mix it up and now I have to wait even longer. Very very unsatisfied with ups. Will never go through them again.
Over charged buy the ups store told if I didn't buy insurance thier only responsible for 100 Dollars And the shipping charge! Oh and guess what the insurance is the same amount as the shipping fee.
5 days to leave Nj. 12 days to ship to Wisconsin!
Ups took a big $#*! as a company when the went public! They started hiring anyone off the street one time I gave the driver a postal check he lost it or spent it they called me up said that I was responsible to replace it. Good thing I kept the copy of the check. You know the driver cashed it!
So ups sucks never going to use them again!
Was on hold for about one hour and 45 min just to speak to someone about my package finally someone picked up and couldn't speak English. Amazing.
Answer: Because there is ZERO accountability at UPS and they dont care about customers or having business ethics. Answer my question if you can.(Click on my profile and see it)
Answer: Because the management orders the people under them to do it, so it looks good on UPS. And most customers dont bother to complain or write reviews.
Answer: It's driver preference and they don't care. I complained about this. I'm constantly getting medical supplies delivered and they don't care
Answer: Because they don't care! For the life of me, I can't understand why anybody uses them as a delivery service.
Answer: Because they are a very poorly run company. It doesn't even run its offices domestically well, as you can see by the overwhelmingly negative reviews on this site. Use any shipping service over UPS.
Answer: UPS is a disgrace. They are a disregardful and careless business who lies to their costumers. Absolutely will not support ever again!
Answer: Sadly, today the term racist is used to define almost anyone that we disagree with. I am not a happy customer of the ups store but if you are getting death threats you need to contact the police. It is illegal in America to make death threats against anyone no matter their race, creed or color. That is the beauty of living in United States of America. You do not need to wait for a company to file charges against another human being who is threatening your life. You just need to take the appropriate, legal action against that person, good luck!
